The oxidative stability test:
Use two kinds of different testing method, promptly oxidizer BN measures oxidative stability with the oxidizer B with L-4 catalyzer.Oxidizer BN is used to measure the oxidative stability of the Fischer-tropsch derived lubricant base oil that does not contain any additives.A kind of method easily of measuring lubricant base oil stability is to use oxidizer BN test, as people such as Stangeland at United States Patent (USP) 3,852, described in 207.Oxidizer BN test is measured oxidation-resistance by the oxygen uptake device of Dornte type.Referring to R.W.Dornte, " oxidation of white oil ", " industry and engineering chemistry " rolled up the 26th page in 1936 the 28th.Usually, condition is the pure oxygen atmosphere at 340 .The result absorbs the required hours of 1000ml oxygen with 100g oil and reports.In oxidizer BN test, every 100g oil uses the 0.8ml catalyzer, and additive-package is included in the described oil.Catalyzer is the mixture of the soluble metal naphthenate in kerosene.The average metal analysis of the mixture simulation exhausted crankcase oils of described soluble metal naphthenate.The content of metal is as follows in the described catalyzer: copper=6,927ppm; Iron=4,083ppm; Plumbous=80,208ppm; Manganese=350ppm; Tin=3565ppm.Additive-package is the double focusing propylidene phenyl zinc dithiophosphate (zincbispolypropylenephenyldithio-phosphate) of oily 80 mmoles of per 100 grams, or the OLOA260 of about 1.1 grams.The response of described oxidizer BN thermometrically lubricant base oil in mimic is used.High value or the time that absorbs the required length of 1 liter of oxygen show good oxidative stability.Think that traditionally oxidizer BN should be higher than 7 hours.For the present invention, oxidizer BN value will be preferably greater than about 40 hours greater than about 30 hours.
Oxidizer B is used to measure the oxidative stability of the finished lubricants of the blending that has contained antioxidant addn.Oxidizer B test with L-4 catalyzer is the test (" industry and engineering chemistry " rolled up the 26th page in 1936 the 28th for R.W.Dornte, " oxidation of white oil ") of measuring oxidation-resistance by the oxygen uptake device of Dornte type.Usually, condition is the pure oxygen atmosphere at 340 , and the result absorbs the required hours of 1000ml oxygen with 100g oil and reports.In the oxidizer B test with L-4 catalyzer, every 100g oil uses the 0.8ml catalyzer.Catalyzer is the mixture of the soluble metal naphthenate in kerosene.The average metal analysis of the mixture simulation exhausted crankcase oils of described soluble metal naphthenate.The content of metal is as follows in the described catalyzer: copper=6,927ppm; Iron=4,083ppm; Plumbous=80,208ppm; Manganese=350ppm; Tin=3565ppm.Response with oxidizer B thermometrically finished lubricants in mimic is used of L-4 catalyzer.High value or the time that absorbs the required length of 1 liter of oxygen show good stability.Usually, the oxidizer B test result with L-4 catalyzer should be higher than about 7 hours.Preferably, having the value of the oxidizer B of L-4 will be greater than about 10 hour.The finished product concoction of blending of the present invention has much larger than 10 hours result.Preferably, the finished lubricants of blending of the present invention had greater than 22 hours, even more preferably greater than 30 hours the oxidizer B test result with L-4 catalyzer.
The HFRR wear testing:
Use high frequency reciprocating apparatus (HFRR) (PCS instrument HFR2) on the 1ml oil samples, to carry out wear testing, this high frequency reciprocating apparatus (HFRR) is in upset, overlapping and be polished to that (according to ANSI B3.12 grade is 24 less than the complete hardened ball that uses SAE-AISI E-52100 6.00mm diameter on the SAE-AISI E-52100 10mm square position of the polishing of 0.02 micron RA surface finish, Rockwell hardness " C " scale value that has 58-66 according to testing method ASTM E18, and has a surface finish) less than 0.05 micron RA, described square position has Vickers hardness " HV30 " according to standard E92, the Rockwell hardness of 190-210 " C " scale value.AISIE-52100 has the iron alloy that following typical element is formed: carbon, 1.00%; Manganese, 0.35%; Silicon, 0.25%; And chromium, 1.50%.Test condition is as follows: frequency 20Hz; The load 1 that applies, 000g; Length of stroke 1mm; 120 ℃ of fluid temperature (F.T.)s, relative humidity is greater than 30% and test time 200 minutes.Described test is the revision of the test described in ASTM D6079.
Because the extreme difference of hardness between ball and the dish, most of fret wears occur on the dish, are the form of the long hemispherical wear print of 1mm.Therefore, wear resistance is only based on the amount from the material that removes of dish, and not based on the amount of the material that removes from ball.At first remove thin wear debris from the surface of coiling with the cotton swab that is soaked with hexane, then near wear print with the profile of the rectangular area of the 1/24mm * 1.64mm on MicroXAM-100 3D Surface Profiler (ADE phase shift) the described surface of drawing, carry out mill afterwards and decrease cubing.At first use the software program of making even of MicroXAM the surface profile of described dish to be made even based on the flat site of the described wear print of next-door neighbour, then from deducting the metal volume (wearing and tearing) more than the plane of giving prominence at the void volume that extends under the plane on surface (adhesion), calculate the difference between material volume (wearing and tearing (lubricant releasedwear) that lubricant discharges) that removes by bounding force and the material volume that passes through wearing and tearing (plough) transfer on the surface.Come from the HFRR of the void volume that extends under the plane on surface wear volume and the clean wear print volume of HFRR and be reported as wear volume and the clean wear volume of HFRR under the HFRR plane respectively, unit is a cu.Volume accuracy by this commercial measurement is ± 10 cus according to estimates.All lubricant tests twice, and with results averaged.
Preferably, finished lubricants of the present invention has shown 1, under the load that 000g applies less than 300, wear volume under the HFRR plane of 000 cu is more preferably less than or equals wear volume under the HFRR plane of about 170,000 cus, even be more preferably less than 150, wear volume and even be more preferably less than wear volume under the HFRR plane of 110,000 cus under the HFRR plane of 000 cu.In addition, finished lubricants of the present invention has shown the clean wear volume less than the HFRR of 100,000 cus, preferably less than the clean wear volume of the HFRR of 50,000 cus be more preferably less than the clean wear volume of HFRR of 25,000 cus.

Kinematic viscosity is measuring of the resistance of fluid when the action of gravity current downflow.Employed fluidic proper viscosity is depended in many lubricant base oils, the finished lubricants of being made by lubricant base oil and the correct operation of equipment.Measure kinematic viscosity by ASTM D 445-01.The result reports with centistoke (unit of kinematic viscosity) Si (cSt).The finished lubricants of blending of the present invention is 100 ℃ of kinematic viscosity with the about 20cSt of about 2.0cSt-.
Viscosity index (VI) is a numeral empirical, no unit, and the expression temperature variation is to the influence of the kinematic viscosity of oil.Liquid viscosity is with temperature change, and viscosity reduces when being heated; The VI of oil is high more, and the trend that its viscosity with temperature changes is low more.Relative constant viscosity is arranged in any case in wide region, need the lubricant of high VI under the temperature that requires to change.Can described in ASTM D2270-93, measure VI.Preferably, the finished lubricants of blending of the present invention has the viscosity index greater than 140, the viscosity index more preferably greater than 165.
Measuring of the temperature of pour point when to be the lubricant base oil sample begin to flow under the condition of careful control.Can described in ASTM D5950-02, measure pour point.The result is with a degree centigrade report.Many commercial lubricant base oils have technical requirements to pour point.When lubricant base oil had low pour point, they also had other good cryogenic properties probably, for example low cloud point, low cold filter stoppage point and cold-starting viscosity.Cloud point is that the complementarity of pour point is measured, and the temperature when being expressed as the lubricant base oil sample and beginning muddiness to occur under careful defined terms.Can measure cloud point by for example ASTM D5773-95.
According to ASTM D5800, the Noack volatility be defined as when oil in being connected with the test crucible of constant air flow at 250 ℃ with than the low 20mmHg (2.67kPa of normal pressure; 26.7mbar) the following quality of the oil that lost in 60 minutes of heating of pressure, represent with wt%.Calculate the method more easily of Noack volatility and be to use thermogravimetric analyzer test (TGA) according to ASTM D6375 with the closely-related method of ASTM D5800.Unless stated otherwise, in whole specification sheets disclosure, use TGA Noack volatility.Find, relevant with the oil consumption of bus engine by TGA Noack with the Noack volatility of the engine oil of similar approach mensuration.To the strict demand of low volatility is the important aspect of several nearest CCMC engine oil specifications (for example ILSAC GF-3 of Ou Zhou ACEA A-3 and B-3 and North America).Preferably, the finished lubricants of blending of the present invention has the Noack volatility less than 12wt%.
Cold cranking simulator apparent viscosity (CCS VIS) is the test that is used for measuring the viscometric properties of lubricant base oil under low temperature and high-shear.CCS VIS also can be called as cold-starting viscosity.The testing method of determining CCS VIS is ASTM D5293-02, carries out under the design temperature between-5 ℃ and-35 ℃.The result is with centipoise (cP) report.Found that CCS VIS is relevant with the cryogenic engine starting.The SAE J300 of revision in June calendar year 2001 has defined the specification of maximum CCS VIS at automobile engine oil.

Be used for measuring method at the molecule with aromatic functionality of the low levels of Fischer-tropsch derived lubricant base oil, use 1050 serial four gradient high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems of Hewlett-Packard, this system is furnished with the HP1050 diode array UV-Vis detector that is connected with the HP chem workstation by the interface.Based on their UV spectrum pattern and their elution time, identify each aromatic substances in HI SA highly saturated Fischer-tropsch derived lubricant base oil.The nh 2 column that is used for this analysis is mainly distinguished aromatic molecules based on the number of rings of aromatic molecules (or more precisely, double key number).Like this, the aromatic molecules that contains single ring will be at first by wash-out, is the polycyclic aromatic substance then by the cumulative double key number purpose order of per molecule by wash-out.For the aromatic substance with similar two key features, those that only have on the ring that alkyl replaces will be than those wash-outs quickly with cycloalkyl substituted.
The peak transition of electron of various base oil aromatic hydrocarbons is with respect to the whole red shifts of pure model compound analogue (being somewhat dependent upon the alkyl on the member ring systems and the amount of cycloalkyl substituted), and this true making identifies clearly that from the UV absorption spectrum of various base oil aromatic hydrocarbons they are somewhat complicated.These red shifts are that the alkyl delocalization by the π-electronics on the aromatic ring causes as everyone knows.Owing to seldom have unsubstituted aromatic substance to seethe with excitement in the lubricant scope, red shift to a certain degree is among expecting, and all observes to a certain degree red shift for certified all main aromatic groups.
By on the appropriate retention time window of the aromatic substance of wash-out to the color atlas integration finish this aromatic substance quantitatively, described color atlas is made by the wavelength at each big class optimization of compound.Similarity on qualitative is assigned to appropriate aromatic substance class with them at each absorption spectrum of the compound of different time wash-out and based on them and model compound absorption spectrum by artificial evaluation, determines the retention time window limits for each aromatic substance class.Exception is seldom arranged, in HI SA highly saturated API II group and III group lubricant base oil, only observe 5 class aromatic substance.

HPLC-UV is used to identify even the unusual aromatic substance of these classes of low levels.The absorption of polynuclear aromatic compound generally than the strong 10-200 of the absorption of monocyclic aromatics doubly.Alkyl replaces also, and influence absorbs about 20%.Therefore, use HPLC separates and identifies various aromatic substance and know that how they absorb effectively is important.
5 class aromatic substance have been identified.Between the alkylnaphthalene class of the alkyl-1-cyclophane family's naphthenic hydrocarbon that keeps at topnotch and least highly reservation, have little overlapping, all aromatic substance kinds are baseline separation.Determine for the 1-ring of described co-elute and the integration boundaries of 2-cyclophane compounds of group at 272nm by vertical line dropping method (perpendicular dropmethod).By setting up Beer law figure,, at first determine the response factor that depends on wavelength of the big class of each aromatic substance based on the spectrum peak absorbancy the most close with the aromatics analogue of described replacement from pure model compound mixture.
For example, the alkyl in the base oil-phenylcyclohexane molecule demonstrates clearly peak value absorbancy at 272nm, identical (taboo) transition that this takes place at the 268nm place corresponding to unsubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetralin model compound.By supposing that alkyl-1-cyclophane family naphthenic hydrocarbon is at the molar absorptivity response factor at 272nm place and from 1 of Beer law figure calculating, 2,3, the 4-tetraline calculates the concentration of alkyl-1-cyclophane family naphthenic hydrocarbon in the base oil sample in the molar absorptivity approximately equal at 268nm place.Be approximately equal to the molecular-weight average of whole base oil sample by the molecular-weight average of supposing each aromatic substance class, calculate the weight percent concentration of aromatic substance.
By directly from lubricant base oil, separating described 1-cyclophane compounds of group, further improve described calibration steps via HPLC chromatogram completely.Directly calibrate and eliminated hypothesis and the uncertainty that is associated with model compound with these aromatic substance.As expected, isolating aromatic substance sample has the response factor lower than model compound, because it is more highly to replace.
More specifically, in order accurately to calibrate described HPLC-UV method, use Waters partly to prepare the HPLC device is isolated replacement from described lubricant base oil body benzene aromatic substance.With the dilution in 1: 1 in normal hexane of 10g sample; and be expelled to the silica column (guard column of 5cm * 22.4mm ID) of amino bonded; 25cm * 22.4mm ID the post of the silica dioxide granule of the amino bonded by two 8-12 microns is (by Rainin Instruments then; Emeryville; California makes), adopting flow is that the normal hexane of 18ml/min is as moving phase.Based on detector response, with the classification of post eluant from the dual wavelength UV detector that is set in 265nm and 295nm.Collect the saturates fraction and show the variation of 0.01 absorbance unit up to the 265nm absorbancy, this is the signal that the wash-out of monocyclic aromatics begins.Collect the absorbancy ratio of monocyclic aromatics fraction up between 265nm and 295nm and drop to 2.0, this wash-out that shows bicyclic-aromatic compound begins.By " hangover " saturates fraction of described single aromatic substance fraction being carried out chromatogram again, isolate causing owing to the HPLC column overload, the purifying that carries out described monocyclic aromatics fraction with separate.
The aromatics of described purifying " standard substance " shows that with respect to unsubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetralin, alkyl replaces makes the molar absorptivity response factor reduce about 20%.
Confirm aromatic substance by NMR
The weight percent of the molecule with aromatic functionality in single aromatics standard substance of described purifying passes through long duration (long duration)
13The CNMR analysis confirmation.NMR is than the easier calibration of HPLC UV, because it measures aromatics carbon simply, so its response does not rely on the kind of analyzed aromatic substance.Aromatic substance by the 95-99% in the saturated lubricant base oil of known altitude is a monocyclic aromatics, and NMR result is converted into % aromatic molecules (for consistent with HPLC-UV and D2007) from % aromatics carbon.
The baseline analysis that needs high ability (high power), long duration to become reconciled is accurately to measure the aromatic substance that is low to moderate 0.2% aromatic molecules.
More specifically, in order accurately to measure low-level all molecules with at least one aromatic functionality by NMR, the D5292-99 method of standard is modified with the minimum carbon susceptibility that provides 500: 1 (by ASTM standard program E386).The operation of the 15 hour time length of employing on 400-500MHz NMR with 10-12mm Nalorac probe.Use Acorn PC integration software to define the shape of baseline and integration as one man.Being in operation changes the primary carrier frequency, to avoid being derived from the non-natural sign of aliphatic peak in the imaging in aromatics zone.By taking the photograph spectrum in the both sides of described carrier wave spectrum, resolving power is significantly improved.
The naphthenic hydrocarbon of measuring by FIMS distributes
It is more stable to oxidation than naphthenic hydrocarbon that paraffinic hydrocarbons is considered to, and therefore paraffinic hydrocarbons is more wished.Monocycle alkane is considered to more stable to oxidation than polycyoalkane.Yet when all have at least one cycloalkanes and belong to the weight percent of molecule of functionality when very low in the lubricant base oil, additive solubleness is low and elastomer compatibility is poor.Example with base oil of these character is polyalphaolefin and has Fischer-Tropsch base oil (GTL base oil) less than about 5% naphthenic hydrocarbon.In order in finished lubricants, to improve these character, must often add for example ester class of expensive cosolvent.Preferably, the Fischer-tropsch derived lubricant base oil that uses in the finished lubricants of the lubricant of blending of the present invention and blending comprises the molecule that polynaphthene belongs to functionality that has that mononaphthene belongs to the molecule of functionality and low weight percentage that has of high weight percent, so that described Fischer-tropsch derived lubricant base oil has high oxidative stability and high viscosity index and good additive solubleness and elastomer compatibility, and the finished lubricants of the lubricant of therefore described blending and blending has high oxidative stability and high viscosity index and good additive solubleness and elastomer compatibility.
Use field ion mass spectrum (FIMS) to measure to have that cycloalkanes belongs to and polynaphthene belongs to the composition of the molecule of functionality.On VG 70VSE mass spectrograph, obtain the FIMS spectrum.Sample imports via the solid probe, and this solid probe is heated to 500 ℃ by the speed with 50 ℃/min from about 40 ℃.Described mass spectrograph scans m/z1000 with 5 seconds/10 speed from m/z40.With the mass spectrum that obtains add and, to produce " average " spectrogram.The software package that use derives from PC-MassSpec carries out the C13 correction to each spectrogram.Use that the paraffinic hydrocarbons of purified branching almost and height cycloalkanes belong to, the concoction of the basic raw material of aromatic-containing compound is not estimated the FIMS Ionization Efficiency.Isoparaffin in these base oils is identical with the Ionization Efficiency of naphthenic hydrocarbon basically.Isoparaffin and naphthenic hydrocarbon account for more than 99.9% of saturates in the lubricant base oil of the present invention.The response factor of supposing all types of compounds is 1.0, so directly provide weight percent from area percentage.
